Wish I had the answer. It would help so many of us.

I too have tried just about every bc pill over the years. It helps for a year or so and then it just stops working. Doctors just up the doservice to a stronger bc pill. Now after a year of medically induced menopause I am back at square one too.

Tried lupron injections but have low bone density and had to stop. Tried Mirena for three years... yes it stopped the 6 week long bleeding but again did nothing for the pain. Added Visanne in combination now on Fibristal ( might be misspelled ).

Starting to think the hormone treatment is not the answer.

Well all I can say is that at the moment it's working for me i had a friend on it that was good for about 3 months..it's worth a shot for some relief

I was on Triphasal. (Not sure of spelling)
It controlled the Endo I never knew I had for 25years. I decided to go off the pill when I was 43 and within months had severe right sided pain that required emergency surgery and the diagnosis of Stage 3 Endometriosis.
I went back on a different tri-phasic pill, (previous one no longer available in Canada) but never could gain complete control of the disease again.
Now I use the Nuva Ring which gives me some predictability of symptoms and a regular cycle but I don't believe much symptom control.

Well with out them I don't sleep and can only eat very few things so to me they are a God sent !! I have few extreme flare ups..so if you can get them for a while I highly recommend them my pelvic floor is usually super tight to the point were I actually can't evacuate my bowel..hasn't seemed to help much in that department but physio sure has

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member how do you like the shots? I opted out of them after going back and forth for several months
